your own Flag antennaLarry
Molitor - W7IUV: The "Flag" and "Pennant" antennas
show great promise for those who live on less than full section
farms. While the Pennant is easier to build, the Flag is symmetrical
and therefor adaptable to a rotatable configuration. --

George Maroti: The Flag antenna is particularly good for DX-ing
in specific direction. The antenna is simple to construct, is
relatively small, and has no direct connection to ground.

antenna reportGeorge
Maroti:Several times the flag heard stations which
were completely inaudible on the other antennas.
On frequencies with 2 stations audible, the flag was able to either
null one of the stations, or bring the station that was in the
background out in front. --

most successful antennaRobert
Marshall-Read, G4VGO: This has been the most successful
antenna so far and although not a beverage, it outshines the phased

filtering applications, where looser manufacturing tolerances
may be acceptable. This can affect antenna matching transformers.

Stick

performs as well or better than the one described in the QST article
surfaces, I recommend that you stick with the 34/8 turns ratio
on the Amidon FT-140-43 core. --
